A: I'm sorry you're going through this challenging situation. Start by collecting all your emails, messages, and any agreements you had with the company about the extension. This documentation will be crucial if you need to take further action.

Next, try to reach out to higher-ups in the company or different departments, such as HR, to explain your predicament and seek assistance. If they remain unresponsive, consider consulting an immigration attorney or contacting a workers' rights organization to understand your legal options and ensure your rights are protected.

Meanwhile, begin searching for other job opportunities to secure your status beyond October 31st. Networking with former colleagues or using job platforms can help you find new employment quickly. Taking these steps can help you navigate this uncertainty and find a suitable resolution.
